Who We Help
We work with creators at every stage, from first paid collaboration through to multi-million view channels running a full production team.
Choose the Right Structure: Sole Trader or Limited Company
Deciding between operating as a sole trader or forming a limited company is a big decision that affects your tax bill and legal liability. We guide you through the pros and cons, considering your income level, growth plans, and personal circumstances. Our advice is tailored to your unique situation, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Tax efficiency analysis for both structures
- Dividend versus salary strategies for limited companies
- Company formation support and ongoing compliance
- Corporation tax planning and filing
- Personal tax return implications for sole traders and directors
- Liability protection considerations for your personal assets
International Income & Cross-Border Tax for Creators
YouTube pays from the US, TikTok pays from Ireland, a brand deal lands from Dubai and your Patreon settles in dollars. Each of those routes carries its own withholding tax, VAT and currency treatment. We make sure you claim treaty relief where it applies, report foreign income correctly and never pay tax twice on the same pound.
US withholding tax
W-8BEN forms and treaty rates so Google withholds 0% instead of 30%.
Foreign currency
Correct exchange rate treatment on every payout and platform fee.
VAT on digital services
Place-of-supply rules for overseas brands, agencies and subscribers.
Moving abroad
Residency, split-year treatment and non-dom planning for creators relocating.
